[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think your drinking determines your comfort level with your teen's drinking? It seems that the daily drinkers are way more comfortable/normalize drinking in teens than those who rarely/don't drink? Agree or disagree?[/quote]

We are a family where my husband and I have wine with our dinner and have since our kid was little. I only stopped drinking wine during pregnancy and nursing. Our DC has seen us have 1-2 glasses at dinner and sometimes nothing but we probably have wine with dinner 5x/week.

Our DC has been going to parties since 16.5/17 and has shared he does have a couple of drinks. These parties are once in 2-3 months so not that often. We usually pick our DC up and DC has never been drunk, just slightly tipsy. We have many candid talks about what alcohol does your brain, body and how we metabolize it and it's better not to drink at DC's age at all, but if you do, drink slowly and drink water or eat food with it.

We feel ok with that.[/quote]
